Kanz, sometimes I wonder if you even realize there are other people at the table and that you can not and should not take matters into your own hands all the time. Like seriously. You come across as pompous and arrogant both in and out of character, and frankly you're just NOT fun to play with anymore. I'm not even the only person that thinks this either, though I'm not going to name names.

I think you need a break from this, you are just TOO serious into this.


Considering if I don't, the plot doesn't move forward except through Deus Ex Machinas...I mean, seriously, who sets up all the plans? You don't, that's for sure. Really, the thing is, you and I aren't playing the same game. Your character is in it for the ride. He doesn't have any goals beyond stopping Rael, which is pure self-preservation. Mine wants to leave a lasting impact on the world. This necessitates that I think much, much more long-term and more broadly than you do, which is why I'm so unhappy - you pretty much think 'what would my character want to do' and then do it. I do the same thing, then I have to think 'and what would he do because he must do it? And then how do I make things work from there?'. Your character is basically you. My character is rather dissociated from me, which causes me to be far more detached and critical of things, thanks to the distance. It also leaves me less happy, because I don't get to make things go the way I want them to even when I'm winning...which isn't often, anyway. Your character already accomplished his life goals. Mine has been forced to sell them out for everybody else's sake. It's doubtful if he'll succeed at achieving even a single one of them. Your game is not my game, and your satisfaction is not mine. And unlike me, you don't seem to get it, because your responses often tend to be '**** you, got mine' (and this is very obviously reflected in how your character always wants to leave what doesn't directly concern him alone - even when others would suffer. Need I point you toward how you wanted Sharon spared just because she was not an immediate threat anymore?). Which is pretty damn annoying to deal with, tbh.
